New Advances in Hippocampal Spatiotemporal Coding—Multiplexed Theta Phase Coding and the Regulation by External vs. Self-Motion Cues —Review of the latest Nature Neuroscience paper: “allothetic and idiothetic spatial cues control the multiplexed theta phase coding of place cells” 1. Academic Background & Motivations Spatial navigation and memory ha...
Revealing Latent Cognitive Variables Through Facial Expressions — In-depth Analysis of Latest Research from Nature Neuroscience Background: The Silent Dialogue Between Brain and Behavior In the fields of animal and human behavioral science, traditional theories have mainly focused on “intentional” and adaptive actions—movements that are produced to...
Background and Motivation In the field of neuroscience, learning and memory processes rely on the intricate regulation of cellular activities in the brain. Previous research has predominantly focused on synaptic plasticity between neurons—such as long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD)—as the material basis for the remodeling of...
Mechanisms of Psychedelics in Neurovascular Coupling: A Latest Research Interpretation 1. Academic Background and Research Motivation In the past decade, psychedelics such as psilocybin and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) have regained high attention in the scientific community due to their rapid and significant efficacy in clinical fields such as...
Temporal Integration Mechanisms in the Human Auditory Cortex: Neural Computation Is Predominantly Tied to Absolute Time In recent years, the mechanisms of temporal integration in the brain during the processing of sound structure—especially in speech and music comprehension—have attracted widespread attention in neuroscience. Sound signals, such as...
Academic Background: Exploring Perceptual Inference and Neural Mechanisms In everyday life, our sensory systems often encounter incomplete or ambiguous information. For instance, when objects are occluded, the brain relies on prior experience and expectations to infer the whole. This inferential ability is not only a core function of the human visu...
The Effect of Calcium-Activated Potassium Channels (SK Channels) on Repolarization in Failing Ventricular Myocytes—A Computational Modeling Study Research Background and Academic Significance Heart failure (HF) is a severe and prevalent cardiac disease, characterized by a comprehensive deterioration of the heart’s electrophysiological and contracti...
Interpretation of “EVOMOE: Evolutionary Mixture-of-Experts for SSVEP-EEG Classification with User-Independent Training” 1. Research Background and Problem Statement Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology has recently shown broad application prospects in neuroengineering, assistive technology for disabilities, rehabilitation, emotion recognition,...
